[Dynagroove] promoters: one word - collaborate

[. t.love ..]

I think wednesday night is all set with headinhome.... i went there this
wed and had a wonderful time ... everyone is friendly, they have a guest
list option, music is great, drink specials, and lillyanne is someone you
want to support in her club and dj endeavors ... i notice alot of
promoters who throw one offs or weeklies ... expect people to come out to
their parties and support .. yet you rarely see them out dancing unless
it is something they are associated with or they are promoting their own
party .... alot of the time i try to go to those parties that are thrown
by dancers like myself  :)

although, as a dancer .. i would like to have another option on monday
night ..
